• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Coconut flakes (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Use a hand or stand mixer for best results.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut and chopped nuts using a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and coconut flakes for the topping.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sugar and coconut mixture evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Slice, serve, and enjoy the tropical flavors of your Crunchy Banana Colada Bread!
